Not an actual quiz or poll.
I need some help identifying a very old piece of hardware, not who made but what it does. I don't have pic capabilities so I will describe it.
The port on the end is the 25-pin serial. The company that man is AST Research, Inc., FCC ID is DJK68Y SPK1177.
The card is roughly 15" long. 5 of which are covered with a grid of memory banks in sockets, the rest of the card contains one button cell battery, a controller chip
a bank of DIP switches and several different jumpers including one for IRQ and another marked "Port Enable." Card is 8-bit ISA.
If it was a serial card I think it would be way smaller.
I wasn't sure if this would be considered Highly Tech. or Off Topic, so here it is (so don't bitch about it being in the wrong one, i can't stand that).
Have already attempted FCC search and AST was bought by some company called ASI or something like that but they have no info.
